The variety of physical features, the size of the genomes and the lifestyles of viruses all make their classification difficult. New research uses protein folding as evidence that viruses are living creatures that belong in their own branch of the branch of life. [Courtesy of Julie McMahon]

Hunting for small molecules: the drawing depicts the experimental setup that was used to detect small molecules, such as those commonly found in drugs (green) and their binding to the receptors located on the outer surface of the cell membrane (yellow). These events can be imaged with the help of ordinary optical microscopy - subtle deformations in the structure of the cell membrane caused by the binding and dissociation of the small molecules - are translated into visible changes within the light intensity.
